VMware supports deep integration of the VMware vSphere platform with third-party management tools and solutions through APIs and SDK products aimed at different developer communities and target platforms. VMware's technology partners have access to VMware engineering resources and product source code to support deeply integrated VMware vSphere extensions.

VMware’s APIs and SDKs expose every control, performance, and monitoring feature offered by VMware vCenter Server so third parties can build in support for every aspect of VMware vSphere, including vMotion, DRS, and HA. This has led to broad industry support for management integration with VMware vSphere. Each API/SDK is intended for different developer communities and target platforms.
